I have no idea how the cart in LSL caught on fire. If it was owner error wouldn't you want to know the facts? This way, you can make certain it does not happen to you.
Thank you for pointing out that gasoline can be dangerous. That does a good service to the community to make and keep people aware of potential danger. People that say, "so what?" just want to PRETEND that gas golf carts are perfectly safe. They don't want to be reminded that their golf cart could catch fire while it is parked in their garage.
Many people also want to believe that gas carts are SAFER than E-carts. And they want to PRETEND that gas carts do not produce pollution. And, of course, many gas golf cart owners WILL NOT make ANY connection to climate change.
